问题     I was introduced to the concept of literacy animator in Oladumi Arigbede’s(1994)article on high illiteracy rates among women and school dropout rates among girls. According to Arigbede, literacy animators view their role as assisting in the self-liberating development of people in the world who are struggling for a more meaningful life. Animators are a family of deeply concerned and committed people whose gut-level rejection of mass human pauperization compels them to intervene on the side of the marginalized. Their motivation is not derived from a love of literacy as merely another technical life skill, and they accept that literacy is never culturally or ideologically neutral.
    Arigbede writes from her experiences as an animator working with women and men in Nigeria. She believes that literacy animators have to make a clear choice about whose culture and whose ideology will be fostered among those with whom they work. Do literacy educators in the United States consider whether the instruction they pursue conflicts with their students’ traditional cultures or community, or fosters illiteracies in learners’ first or home languages or dialects and in their orality?
    Some approaches to literacy instruction represent an ideology of individualism, control, and competition. Consider, for example, the difference in values conveyed and represented when students engage in choral reading versus the practice of having one student read out loud to the group. To identify as a literacy animator is to choose the ideology of "sharing, solidarity, love, equity, co-operation with and respect of both nature and other human beings". Literacy pedagogy that matches the animator ideology works on maintaining the languages and cultures of millions of minority children who at present are being forced to accept the language and culture of the dominant group. It might lead to assessment that examines the performance outcomes of a community of literacy learners and the social significance of their uses of literacy, as opposed to measuring what an individual can do as a reader and writer on a standardized test. Shor(1993)describes literacy animators as problem-posing, community-based, dialogic educators. Do our teacher-education textbooks on reading and language arts promote the idea that teachers should explore problems from a community-based dialogic perspective?
A literacy animator is one who_____.

选项 A、struggles for a more meaningful life
B、frees people from poverty and illiteracy
C、is committed to marginalize the illiterate
D、is concerned with what is behind illiteracy

答案B

解析 推理题。本题的解题点是第一段的第二句“…literacy animators view their role as assisting in theself-liberating development of people…”,意思是说“literacy animators”认为他们的职责是帮助人们自我释放,只有B选项符合。A选项是“literacy animators”帮助的对象追求的事情;C选项中“is committed to”意为“致力于,献身于”,C选项的意思是“他们致力于把文盲边缘化”,与文章意思相反;D选项在文中没有提及,所以是不正确的。
